Fall..sort of.

Haleigh!

Loving this semi-fall weather! 60s one day, 80s the next. Woohoo Georgia!
Today we had a playdate with our neighbor Haleigh, her baby brother, Caleb, and her mother, Erin.
After running around the playground/sand for an hour or so, everyone came over for dinner, play dough, bubble blowing, and water coloring.
So happy I am finally in my second trimester (aka over morning sickness) AND over my cold sickness. Now I have (some) energy and am feeling more like my old, social self! I see many more playdates with Haleigh in the future. (Skylee and her have often been mistaken for each other..two cuties with brown hair, brown eyes, fair skin.) Plus, I can't deny it..I love playing with baby Caleb. Soon I'll have a baby of my own!! Tehee.

We also started up gymnastics again today. We haven't gotten to go the past two weeks because of fall break, but it started again this morning. This month there are four students in her class. Skylee, Ruth, Sophia, and Julian. Skylee and Sophia already have a playdate planned this Friday at the park.

Yesterday, Skylee showed me some of her new ballet "moves". Oh my. Ballet, whimsical arm dancing, a little booty-shaking (goodness, don't get me started), even a bit of break dancing, LOTS of spinning and even a few somersaults...It was very unique. :)
Earlier this week we got to go to the park at First Baptist with Lacey and Margina..for oh..only 5 hours! I don't know who had more fun..Skylee and Lacey running around, watering 'plants', playing house...or Margina and me rambling our faces off. Park weather = best ever. Wish everyday we could go to the park for hours. Skylee had Lacey over to spend the night last Friday as well. They stayed up til nearly midnight and woke the next morning too early. Around 7:30 I heard Lacey shaking Skylee, exclaiming "Wake up!! It's not dark outside anymore!!" After breakfast and a princess movie, they had a tea party on the back porch. Fortunately, later that day Skylee cuddled up with me and napped.
I love the way Skylee tries using 'big' words she hears even though she doesn't know the context.
"Mommy, my spoon is too expensive. I want another one."
"That is just my intuition. I cannot clean my room."
